good video ,well done with the interview , good show . long live 120... long live film, death to digital... didnt feel like 50 mins .. interesting interviews . things are still on the up , just need new 120's to come out ..
Really good guy! I didn't include it but he's hoping to start up his own ECN2 lab, offer a full service for motion picture film. Here's hoping he manages to pull it off!
Get a "Benbo One" and do a review. Be mechanically sympathetic, don't fight with it. You should be okay. Ideal for heavier 120 cameras. The smaller "Benbo Trekker" is for point and shoots. Too small for your needs. You can place it anywhere, and I mean anywhere, one leg high on a chair the other leg in a river and right down on the deck! You'll be roaming around the house looking for awkward places to practice on lol. Well priced as well. Beats the hell out of everything else. Takes any 1/4 or 3/8 head. Spares are available from Paterson. Mines been good for 35 years of heavy pro use, only had to replace the rubber spiked feet for about 12 quid.@@the120ist
Glad to hear the compact enlarger is doing well. It's definitely a big compromise, but I really don't think I'd be printing if it didn't exist (my entire setup is in a small box under my desk) Re: the 4x5 lens! Wow! That's pretty amazing. If that pans out, I wonder if they'll consider offering an enlarger lens, it would make a lot sense
The ability to pack away a darkroom really opens it up to so many more people right? I have my garage for my darkroom, but I still have to pack it away after each session, and return it to being just a garage! The lens is exciting, and with an electronic shutter as well. Will be fascinated to see updates on that. They seem set on releasing it, so it will almost certainly be coming soon. I wouldn't be surprised if an enlarger lens comes along as well. Intrepid seem keen to be a one-stop-shop for all your LF needs!
I bet it was. Even Monday was busy! Probably good that I didn't go on Saturday, I struggled to get a few people to find the time to talk to me even on the Monday!
That’s a huge tripod, Nick! I’m wondering how one sets up the camera focusing and aperture on a tripod 7 feet tall? Is there something I’m missing? I love the dedication of the gentleman you were talking to: he tests them in the rough Scottish weather then he approves it! 💪🏻
Ridiculously big!!! Marcus is quite a bit taller than me, but still. He was explaining it that he photographs on the rough terrain of the Isle of Skye, and if he's on a steep slope then he can have one leg 2-3ft shorter than the other two, to accommodate the slope, and can also then be standing 2-3ft higher than the short leg of the tripod. So he uses the extra length to accommodate that. It's a really really nice tripod though, so solid and stable!
Making my way through your video now, Nick! Is Paterson going to make reels for 110 film? This seems to be missing from their product line. Let me know if you saw anything on 110 reels. Thanks! Anthony
@@the120ist I think it's because they have an agreement with Kodak, so they can get it directly from Kodak, it's not perforated, it's made custom for Cinestill. Oher people have to buy the perforated 65mm motion picture stocks, so if they do not sell it to the public but only to few selected directors/DP, we can't get it :(

They don't really seem to market them much at all! I cut most of the business chat out of this, but Richard was telling me about the set up over there, and they're a manufacturing company that has quite a few brands. But if you owned the Paterson brand, then I guess that kind of runs itself?? Maybe marketing falls low on the list of overall priorities?
All I can say is get your hands on a Benbo One, (the big one) it's perfect for my RB67 and Cambo monorail. Some people struggle with them , secret is to slacken it off, grab it by the neck, shake it about a bit and it finds it's own way. Macro buttercups with a RB67 are easy. It weighs nine pounds so not for lightweights, I carry it on a gunsling.@@the120ist
Really good coverage of the film photography in the show. Thanks!

This Is How We Roll looks like a good guy with an entrepreneurial spirit! Making a variety of ECN film available. Nice report, Nick!

Another great insight into the film industry! After all that hard work you did filming, any freebies? Lol
Benbo, best tripod on the planet! Especially for outdoors. Had my Benbo One since the 80's.
I'm really keen to try one out. I can see a lot of situations where I think it would be great. First time I'd heard of it too!

The Saturday was manic

i wanted to try and get there this year but no had other stuff to do never mind maybe next year.

didn't see anything, but I also didn't ask! I'll find out for you!
How about alphie makes a holga killer? Hmmm. Real parts, decent enough lenses, and somewhat reliable, still basic wind on 120?
I think Dave has his sights set on more complex cameras! And as far as I know, his plans don't include 120, sadly! Not yet anyway!
@@the120ist and that is why the market will pass him by.
I know Holga has a glass lens version - but honestly you're absolutely right - any updated Holga Killer would be much appreciated.
Double X in 120 it's available from Cinestill, it's a bit expensive but at least it's an option
Ah yes, I knew I'd seen it somewhere. I wonder how they can do it, but Peter can't. Who knows!

Peter here! I don't know how Cinestill do it but on the Kodak catalogue there isn't an option at least in the UK currently

@@2611gingerninja hi mate! I wonder if they get a different catalogue in the US... probably!
Why don't Patterson market Benbo tripods in the US? I took mine there and all my American friends were asking me what it was a where did I get it.

I could have sold it 500 times over in the States.
@@jonjanson8021I'm going to speak to those guys and hopefully get a Benbo on trial on the channel very soon!
Get a Benbo ONE and put a hefty camera on it, like a big Bronnie or RB67, Ask them for a carry bag, it makes it easier to lug around.@@the120ist
